My son took a chair and put it beside our top-load washing machine. He climbed up the chair and watched through the viewing glass how the machine works. It was swishing the clothes around. Then he exclaimed, "It stopped! Make it spin again, Daddy!"
I said, "No, it's programmed that way. It'll start again, you just wait and see. That's how it washes the clothes. It's just draining the water, but it's going to fill it up again and start spinning again. We don't have do anything. Just let it run its course."
Is the phrase Just let it run its course appropriate in this situation?
Any other corrections? The underlined phrases are of special concern.
